Wonder how much the insurance companies will spend on this propaganda ?

When they should be covering peoples health care claims instead.

Good old capitalism

I dont understand why so many people believe this transparent, fear based, propaganda.

Can someone explain ?

Why do you believe it HuskyMan ?

Or do you spread this BS, because you have ulterior political motives ?
in the past, I've been involved with two patients who were royally screwed by their doctors. in both cases, they came within a hair's breath of DYING due to "Dr. Screwup". and one of the doctors is STILL practicing on the public.

if you go in for surgery, ALWAYS have a family member (preferably a doctor or RN) at your side 24/7. make sure they are 100% aware of your situation, blood type, meds, etc etc and are not afraid to engage nurses and doctors entering your hospital room.

otherwise, you might become a victim of a medical screw up. if I hadn't experienced it first hand, I'd have a far different outlook on the medical establishment, but now I trust them about as far as I can throw them.

Dr. Drug
Dr. Feel Good (here, take these 20 meds and call me in the morning).
